    Dashboard Confessional: MSN Status Hall of Fame

    Please open your sad teen textbooks to Page 1. In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy are screaming infidelities and sharing all their best deceptions as they break down the 2001 album from Dashboard Confessional, The Places You Have Come to Fear the most. Find out more about Chris Carrabba’s transition from Further Seems Forever to Dashboard Confessional, what we know – and don’t know – about what went into his painful songwriting, and why one host thinks Dashboard holds up better than a lot of the early-2000s scene on this week’s podcast.

    Watch Out! In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy are joined by Sam Sutherland (@SamSthrlnd) of the blink-155 podcast to talk about…not blink-182, surprisingly.

Sam’s choice of album surprised, but explained through the lens of that moment in Canadian music history, it was the right choice. Find out more about Sam’s encyclopaedic knowledge of the early-2000s Canadian punk scene, Dallas Green’s resume as an all-around good guy, and how alexisonfire broke through despite not feeling like a CanCon success story on paper on this week’s podcast.

    The Unexpected Coda to Nirvana

    It’s about time. In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy finally open up the grunge side of the podcast, diving deep on Nirvana’s industry-changing 1993 album In Utero. If you preferred Nevermind, well, blame the Patreon supporters who voted for this, and maybe give that take a second thought upon re-listening. Find out more about what Kurt Cobain set out to do with the impossible task of following up on Nevermind, the difficult process of trying to perfect the album with Steve Albini, and the monumental musical influence of In Utero on this week’s podcast.

    In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy are joined by Katie Heindl (@wtevs) to discuss FEELINGS and the 2014 album Singles from Future Islands.

Find out more about how freestyle rapping played a role in Future Islands’ development, Katie’s emotional run-in with the lead singer, and whether Jake could dance on late-night TV on this week’s podcast.

    TV on the Radio: How to Market Music in the 21st Century

    In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy explore TV on the Radio’s Return to Cookie Mountain, what they feel is one of the best albums to come out of the early-2000s indie rock boom. So much so, in fact, that this episode invites the first discussion of a potential CHP Hall of Fame for one of TV on the Radio’s members. Find out more about the David Letterman performance that helped put them on the map, where they veer from otherwise similar Meet Me In The Bathroom-era acts, and just how a band comes to sound like…this…on this week’s podcast.

A music lovers dream

This is really such an awesome podcast. Perfect for those drives where I can’t decide if I want to listen to a podcast or playlist. Very well done.

ROCmovies ,

True music fans.

I just discovered this podcast and am now obsessed. Their love for music is shown through without being critical or pretentious. I love that they cover so much of the 2000's alternative music that I still find some of my favorites. Keep up the awesome work!

Nostalgia and joy

I’m loving this podcast. I found it while going down a Jimmy Eat World rabbit hole (which, y’all, listen to the new record, it’s really great), and I was pleasantly surprised. I am adoring the joy and nostalgia it’s giving me. Love is in the crafting of a mixtape.
